Carbon Free Girl - A Race Car Driver's Journey to Be Carbon Neutral

Who is Carbon Free Girl?

Leilani Münter is Carbon Free Girl and this is her story -- the story of a vegetarian hippie chick race car driver's journey to be carbon neutral; a diary of her lifetime project of sorting through the facts & fiction about alternative fuels, organic food, clean energy, green buildings, solar power, wind farms, composters, recycling, politics & more all while she makes a living driving a race car at 200 mph. It's not always easy being green but Leilani hopes that by sharing her story, she will make your journey a little easier...

Carbon Free Girl's Mission

The mission of Leilani's Eco Dream Team is to send powerful messages to the number one spectator sport in America, calling to action 100 million race fans in the US to make a difference by spreading environmental awareness about sustainable living alternatives, clean energy, alternative fuel vehicles, and environmental legislation. Knowlege is power and Leilani wants to spread the power to the race fans. Additionally, Leilani hopes her efforts will encourage racing sanctioning bodies to increase their environmental initiatives with expanded recycling programs and the use of alternative fuels.

A Message from Carbon Free Girl

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting my eco site! This is where I will blog about the latest eco news and document the changes -- small and large -- that I am making to my life to reduce my carbon footprint. I have also added some educational pages where you can find out more about sustainable living. And of course, the most frequently updated page is my eco newsfeed (the NEWS section in the menu above) where I will post the latest eco news I stumble upon while browsing the net when I should be working. Don't forget...

Life is short. Race hard. Live Green.
